Wyoming, Mich. -- Marijuana advocates say they want to kick the entire city council of a Michigan city out of office for banning the drug state law permits for medicinal use.
The city council of Wyoming, Mich., reaffirmed a November vote Monday giving the ban a second and final reading that makes medical marijuana illegal within city limits, the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press reported
Tuesday.
The vote goes against a 2008 statewide vote approving medical marijuana.
Voters in 27 of Wyoming's precincts supported that marijuana proposal.
John Ter Beek, a lawyer who has sued the city, plans a campaign to recall all seven elected officials and says he is recruiting volunteers to circulate recall petitions.

Seattle -- A man allegedly caught walking into a Seattle courthouse with a small amount of marijuana is demanding it back.
John Worthington of Renton, Wash., representing himself, is not denying possession or even invoking his medical marijuana card, Seattlepi.com reported.
Citing a state Board of Pharmacy decision that pot has medicinal value, he asserted Tuesday that it was an "herbal substance," not a drug, and therefore does not fall under laws regulating illegal narcotics.
Worthington was passing through security on his way to the King County Courthouse's law library Oct. 14 when he allegedly placed an old baggy of pot tucked in his jacket in a security tray, the report said.

Sacramento -- California voters defeated Proposition 19, a measure that would have legalized and taxed marijuana, early returns indicated.
If approved, the ballot initiative would have allowed state residents 21 and older to grow and own marijuana subject to taxation. It would have made California the first U.S. state to legalize marijuana.
The Sacramento Bee said as of early Wednesday with 22 percent of precincts reporting, 56.1 percent of voters said no to Proposition 19, while 43.9 percent supported it.
